Tim is leaving on Sunday, EARLY. The reality is setting in. Or maybe it isn't, and it won't until he is gone for a few weeks. I am so blessed to be a stay at home mom, I am in awe of how single mothers do it, with a 40 hr. a week job. For 3 years, I have been home, and I still fail to get it all done. What ever am I going to do when my Succulent leaves?!
About a year ago, I posted something about the terrible twos. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!! I am the woman in public with the unruly child that I used to think, "what is wrong with her and her kid?" I AM HER! The will of a toddler rivals that of criminal in a high speed chase; who would rather crash into on coming traffic, and go up in a fury of flames, then surrender to the cops. I am sure I could spray my child with Mace, and he would still give me his opinion! And now, my husband is leaving, and it is just going to be me. I am scared I will be in the corner with my thumb in my mouth rocking with a blanket, covering my ears! God HELP ME! Many of you know, we have been struggling through the potty training, and my good friend Kim says, "It might get worse when Tim leaves." Thank you BEST FRIEND! :) That is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. More good news for the pseudo-single mom! Needless to say, I am a little apprehensive about being ALONE with this toddler for 5 months. Don't get me wrong, I totally love my boy, but I may like me a little better with a mainline of Prozac. All kidding aside, this is going to be a huge change for me. If nothing else, I hope this is time for me to really lean on the Lord for the strength to get through. I am sure this will be my release, so hopefully someone can get a laugh out of this next season.

Oh Nita. you are so much sronger than you know. I love you and am right down the street. If you need some time alone or just a friend my door is always open!
I love you girl! Thanks.
It'll be rough, but you'll do it. God will be there with you, and you and Jairus are gonna be BFF's by the time it's all done. I was just telling Tim at work today that we're all going to take good care of you. I love you!!!! :)
